Watch! Focalistic Gives Out Money To His Fans. Focalistic, real name Lethabo Sebetso, his first big score came via 2018’s Major League DJz smash 19 Tobetsa, the upstart’s bars leaving a lasting impression on everyone in earshot. Since then, a barrage of standout releases have landed thanks to a relentless work rate.
Focalistic was in Mamelodi the past weekend, and it seems for the residents of the area, their Christmas came early. Focalistic was giving out money to his fans. The rapper was recently recorded giving away money to fans. In the video, he is surrounded by a small crowd, all excitedly jumping on him to get some cash, while he made it rain on them.
Speaking on his independent career, Focalistic expressed that it is not easy but he prefers to be free. “I think for me the move to be independent was not inspired by anyone, but it was inspired by the need to own and just be free. For me, music is not like accounting or something. You know? It’s an emotional thing. You can’t have a boss within that, if you’re being as free as possible. That’s what made me want to become independent.It’s not easy, but it’s all about finding the right deal. I could have done it easier, internationally, if I had a big machine behind me, working behind me, but what would that mean in terms of the music touching people?,” he said.
Known for his intro: ‘ase trap ke pina tsa ko kasi’ the English translation roughly reads: ‘It’s not trap, it’s from the hood’, “Yeah, it’s not trap it’s from the hood. Basically it’s about using all your experiences, admitting or seeing the influence that location has on you. For me every hood in the world is the same, they are always the same. So it’s about telling my story and making sure that people around the world can understand. That’s why it’s a movement, because everyone is the same and so everyone is going to understand — it’s not so much about what you’re saying, it’s the feelings you get.”
